Description
Drymen Bridge is a road bridge that likely dates back to 1765, with widening and reconstruction occurring in 1929. It features a symmetrical design with five spans and regularly spaced segmental-headed arches. The bridge is constructed from coursed rock-faced sandstone, accented with sandstone ashlar dressings, while the reconstructed concrete substructure is visible at the soffits. The ashlar voussoirs, arch rings, and band course are supported by regularly spaced projecting blocks that resemble dentils. There are impost bands above the arches, and the squared coping of the parapet is chamfered at the edges. Additionally, both central piers have semicircular-plan turret projections on each side, and rounded cutwaters are present at the base. The wings of the bridge end at circular-plan piers.
